Concerning the question of need for newer cables and connectors, the article says:
“There is a very clear migration path from 800Mbps to 3.2Gbps, with no need for modifications to the standard and no requirement for new cables or connectors.”
A *very* nice feature.

Lyric has a ‘shadow and highlight’ filter that can help with pulling detail from shadows; and it’s free!

For a screen size of 720×486 the workflow is:
1. Create a document of 720×540.
2. Do your graphic work.
3. Before output to FCP go to Image>Image Size>uncheck the ‘constrain proportions’ box, change the 540 to 486. This will give you a ‘squashed’ look in PS, but when imported into FCP it will look correct.The pixels in your computer are square and television pixels are rectangular. You have to compensate for that when you create your graphic in PS.
For 720×480 DV footage, the procedure is the same, but the initial document size is 720×534; then change to 720×480.

along those same lines, does anyone know of a utility that will let you print your font library to make a font book? Often it is easier and quicker to look at several on a page than to scroll through font book.

IMO many of today’s digital cameras will produce a broadcast quailty picture. But, if you are trying to put together a reel, then you need *quality* footage.
As many of us know, a good DP (Director of Photography) can take a consumer grade camera and shoot good footage. Good composition and lighting being the key. If you, as you say, are not a camera person, then you cannot produce good footage. As has been said, hire someone that can, buy/borrow footage, volunteer your time, etc. Edit that to the best of your ability. You will *waste your money* if you get a great camera and don’t have the skills to produce good footage.
As an assistant, I used footage from ad campaigns I assisted on. This was very good film footage and looked very professional on my reel.

I have a 2407 as well and from the research I did before I bought it, it came out ahead of the ACD picture wise and it was less expensive and had more inputs. Much more value for who I work for. I’m not into buying equipment that matches, I want performance at a good price and the Dells deliver.

Actually, I get that on my dual 2Ghz G5 with 4GB of ram. Not sure why either.
